    body proportions and hitting squat depth

    What's up Zoot. Yes the depth is good. Stance is perfect. If I might offer some additional advice? Avoid stopping at the bottom. Be confident that your depth is good, and use the momentum of the descent to "bounce" out of the hole. Try to establish a more pronounced back angle, less...

    I'm Over Squats

    And eventually you'll totally fuck your lower back due to a completely inactive posterior chain. Fix your squat.

    I'm Over Squats

    I've always viewed the function of the squat like the "engine" of the car. Grow that fucker to a big-block V8 and you have a vastly more powerful vehicle.

    From what I understand, forward knee travel in your case is not determined by anthropometry but by improper set-up at the beginning of the movement. Start with a slightly wider stance, point your toes out 30 degrees. Start the squat by throwing your knees out wide, not forward. Ideally the...

    Crap deadlift, good opportunity to point and laugh

    My interpretation is that in the first video you posted, you're dropping your hips too much in the set-up, before you lift the bar off the floor. Keep your hips high while you set up, let the "chest up" movement squeeze some upward force against the bar, and then concentrate on pulling the floor...

    safety squat bar?

    OP, since it sounds like you're just getting into it, my advice would be to continue on with the basic barbell squat. Your flexibility will improve quickly. Mobility work will also help but I'd steer clear of any specialty bars for the time being.

    Titan Longhorn Belt

    Bloody hell this belt is good. Maybe I'm not normal, but why does everyone complain about buckle belts being a pain in the ass? Buckling & un-buckling my belt is easy, I don't know why people opt for lever belts.

    AusBB's favourite deadlifter hits another PR!

    I can't wait for one of his distal biceps tendons to rupture & poke out his arm during those fucking weird "rows".
